Method

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 10 minutes for al dente or until cooked to your liking. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water in the pan, then return the pasta to the pan and toss with the oil.
Return to a very low heat and stir through the remaining ingredients. Season with lots of black pepper and a little salt, then serve immediately.

This is great served with lemon wedges to squeeze over or, for more of a kick, horseradish.
Creamy pasta dishes demand wines with a bit of zip and freshness to cut through the sauce. Sauvignon Blanc is an obvious choice.
